A behind-the-scenes sneak peek into my thoughts and life, trying to keep perspective on what really matters.

Sailor Mark

This is my cousin Mark Helfinstine.

He just graduated from Navy Bootcamp and is now officially a member of the United States Navy. Since he is stationed in Chicago (Great Lakes Naval Training Academy) for the next 2 weeks, Sarah and I are making plans to go up and visit him THIS SUNDAY (April 29) and maybe tour around Chicago for the afternoon. Fun fun!!

Mark went to Faith Baptist Bible College for a year and then a tech school near Minneapolis (where he lives) for a while before making this career choice. He really researched the Navy and knew what to expect going into it. I am proud to have him serving our country!

About Me

I'm a sinner saved by grace, now trying to keep my FOCUS UP on God and serving Him wholeheartedly. I want it to be able to be said of me, "Well done, good and faithful servant"--but I often struggle in making that a priority in my daily life. I want too many things in this life oftentimes, and need to keep reminding myself of the eternal focus.
